Class 89 Update - Production Well Underway And Delivery Date Confirmed!

[Warbonnet]

Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield can today confirm that one of their most exciting and ambitious projects to date, the legendary Class 89, is nearing production completion with a delivery date to customers now also confirmed.

Launched officially just over 2 years ago, Accurascale has been on quite the journey with the "Badger" but the finishing line for this charismatic prototype is now in sight.

Earlier this month, the factory sent Accurascale progress reports, including images of the locomotives in production. Since these images were taken, the locomotives have been progressing through the decoration stage and are now moving onto final assembly.

The factory have informed Accurascale that production will be complete in early December and shipment from the factory in China will commence then. They will arrive with Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield in mid-late February 2025 for dispatch to customers.

Both Rails of Sheffield and Accurascale have a limited supply of models remaining, so if you wish to avail of one we recommend pre-ordering ASAP to avoid disappointment. Place your pre-order today via Rails of Sheffield or the Accurascale website.

Hi Folks,

Three things:

Here is my first attempt built about thirty years ago from two halves of a Hornby HST and class 58 bogies.

Not only have I managed to undercoat it my Silver Fox Kit when paced upon its bogies it does run !

There is the theme tune:

Perhaps you should leave the mushrooms alone.
